To use Internet functions on the Plus, you needs access to an available
Wi-Fi network. If the Wi-Fi network requires a password, you will be
prompt to enter a password. The Device will save your password for
that particular network and connect automatically when this network
is in the available range.
Some public places, like many public libraries, offer free Wi-Fi
connection with open access and no password needed. Other places,
like airports, coffee shops and hotels, may require a terms agreement
for users to accept user terms. The available network being used with
the Plus must be one that does not require someone to read and
accept user terms.
To use the Library function on the Plus, the user must have a
Bookshare Account.
